It would seem to need a definition of a "first person experience
moment". Personally I don't think my experiences are very big in
information terms. Notice how easily we are fooled by illusions, which
tells me that a lot of our "experience" content is fabricated. But I
don't think by experience comes in "moments". They have extent in
experienced time and even overlap. And again there is fabrication. If
you look a someone talking on TV, you see their lips and their sounds as
synchronized. And even as you move further away from the TV you
continue to perceive them as synchronized...up to a point at which you
suddenly start to see the sound as delayed. Your brain was imposing
synchronization earlier.

Mindey asked a very interesting question, and I've been thinking about
it while following the discussion. I don't have a good answer, but I
might have a good question. I propose another take: the discussion so
far has been in terms of quanta, but what if we reframed it in terms
of qualia?
Imagine the "universe" in terms of the set of all first-person
experience moments of all of its inhabitants. Is there a limit to
novelty here? Or can qualia also display unbounded complexity?

The idea of an all-encompassing set (a set of all sets) is
inconsistent, for example because the power set of a set (=the set of
all subsets of a set) is an even bigger set. If a set is infinite
then its power set has an even bigger infinite size. So there is no
biggest set, just as there is no biggest number and no biggest
infinity. There just seems to be a never-ending hierarchy of sets,
from the empty set upward and maybe there are also sets that have no
bottom, that is they contain sets that contain sets etc. without end.
But everything needs to be kept consistent and I have heard that
according to Godel's second incompleteness theorem there may be
inconsistencies lurking in infinities which we may never be able to
detect.

Curiously, I found the Everything List, because I wanted to to
create a "A Universe Where Everything Can Exist" (
https://mindey.com/world.pdf <https://mindey.com/world.pdf> ),
which the Google search of 2007 returned me to my search query
"How to create a universe, where everything can exist?"
So, suppose that we create a universe, where everything exists,
-- would that universe be a superset of all possible universes,
or, just the same set?
